Fredrik,
Ulf started this by asking about openjdk 6 which does need VS2003.
It doesn't support VS2010 .. and JDK 7 and 8 already build with VS2010
Express
and have done so for well over a year. No need to use that forest, just
standard 7.

So do I really need to buy a VS 2003, or is there some "workaround" with the

You might be interested in the build-infra/jdk7 forest.
I just posted this to build-infra-dev
It builds on WindowsXP, using Visual Studio 2010 Express (free edition).
1) Install Visual Studio.
2) Install cygwin + devel + zip and any other thing the configure
script might complain about.'
3) Install freetype from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm and copy
libfreetype.dll.a into the more useful name freetype.dll
It usually installs in: /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/GnuWin32
4) From the cygwin shell
./configure --with-jvm-variant=server --disable-javac-multi-core
--disable-javac-deps --disable-javac-server
--with-freetype=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/GnuWin32
5) make
6) ./build/windows-i586-server-release/jdk/bin/javac Test.java
./build/windows-i586-server-release/jdk/bin/java Test
Success!
Anyone cares to test?
However jconsole does not work. As probably any other graphical
program. I know some parts that are still missing. :-) Will fix that.
If you forget to do the disables above, then the build will be much
much slower because of a bug that forces a 2 minute timeout after each
repository. To be fixed.
